Get a load of this:

"Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 20 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig. Alicia will go down as the worst, and most disgraceful gymnast in Olympic history."

"Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 10 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig instead of whoring out her 2 cents! Drop dead and get a life bitch! "


Well - what do you think? I think we should get this dude to stop! How? He has now 14 accounts (johnyaowuncar1 - 14). Why does he hate Alicia so much? Grr!

2008 In Review

2008 In Review
~~~~~~~~~~~

Downs

Anna Pavlova
The vault zero and being robbed of a Balance Beam Bronze. She injured herself (tore ligaments), and now is out for a while (at least 6 more months).

Russia - no team medal
I really wanted Russia to medal over Romania.

Alicia Sacramone
Robbed of a vault bronze, and fell twice in the team competition. Poor girl. She retired a couple months back. I wish her all the best.

Cheng Fei
Poor girl. I expected to come out of Beijing with three golds. She took home one (team gold).

The Brazilian Team
Oleg Ostapenko (Tatiana Lyssenko's old coach) didn't do nearly as well as expected with the girls. I hope it didn't demolish their spirit. I think we have a lot of great gymnastics to come from Brazil in Worlds at London.

The Ukrainians
They're so inconsistent. They finished 4th as a team in Athens, and they didn't even qualify as a team (9th) in Beijing! I heard the National Training Center is closing down and all the gymnasts are moving back to their home clubs.



Ups

Shawn Johnson and Liang Chow
A fabulous relationship. I am really impressed. Shawn's biggest mistake in the competition was a step out of bounds. She performed a total of 14 routines at the games.

Nastia Liukin's All-Around Success
One of the best all around titles ever won.

China's Team Gold
Clean, difficult gymnastics. Looking forward to seeing them at Worlds.

He Kexin and Yang Yilin
Their medals were well deserved. In the UB Finals, Kexin lifted up Yang to wave to the crowd. :)

Jiang Yuyuan
Energetic performances! Look at her floor!

Sandra Izbasa's Floor Gold
4/5 Stuck passes.

Hong Un Jong's Vault Gold
A record for the North Koreans. Do not confuse her with SU Jong (world silver medalist - vault). Hong SU Jong is Hong UN Jong's older sister. Anyways, I am delighted with both of them.

Oksana Chusovitina

Does anyone know what has happened to her? Is she still in gymnastics or has she retired? I want her to continue for London 2012, but that's going to be very hard, and sadly, Oksana is the exception, not the rule.

Yulia Kut's 1989 Uneven Bars Routine

Yulia Kut (URS) performs an extremely difficult uneven bar set at the 1989 USA vs. USSR display.
Score: 9.95

Hindorff to Jaeger, extremely wow!

Very Nice Beam Mount

This is Natsumi Sasada (JPN) on the Beam at the 2009 AYOF (Australian Youth Olympic Festival) Event Final. She scored 14.35 and placed 4th.

I don't know her A-Score, so if you know, please tell me :)

She does a back layout with a full twist mount. Absolutely amazing. She's a junior now, I can't wait to see what she will do when she reaches senior! Natsumi for London 2012!

*The 2008 Awards Go To*

Best Vault:
Anastasia Lyukin (USA) - 2008 Olympics - All Around
A: 5.5 B: 9.6
C: Very nice vault, perfect form in the air, and a super stuck landing. It should have been at least 9.8 in execution.

Best Uneven Bars:
He Kexin (CHN) - 2008 Olympics - Team Final
A: 7.7 B: 9.15
C: Spectacular routine, superb height on the release moves, and quite clean! The only errors were the almost dead hand and step on the landing. The dead hand will be fixed when she gets more strength, and a step is...well, nothing now.

Best Balance Beam:
Shawn Johnson (USA) - 2008 Olympics - Event Finals
A: 7.0 B: 9.225
C: Solid routine, very difficult, and absolutely zero balance checks whatsoever. Beautiful full spin, and well deserved gold medal.

Best Floor Exercise:
Anna Pavlova (RUS) - 2008 Olympics - All Around
A: 5.8 B: 9.25
C: Stuck DLO. Fabulous Routine. Very clean for a well deserved 7th (?) place in the All Around.

First Entry

This is my first entry ever in this blog. I like it more than the freewebs one. It's very nice and much easier to use.
